The Annex saying use the same piping as the dwelling unit and allowing residential sprinklers with a two sprinkler discharge indicates that but does not state it. we do get additional guidance from 13R which allows garages serving a single dwelling unit states "shall be considered as part of that dwelling unit and uses residential sprinklers in accordance with 8.6.1 - Design Criteria Inside Dwelling Unit". SInce 13R is a higher level of protection, it would be hard to argue that 13D needs more.
